Protein-Packed Peanut Butter & Berry Oatmeal Bowl

1.Combine the rolled oats, water or milk, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.

2.Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.

3.Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it cool slightly for about 1 minute before incorporating the protein powder to prevent clumping.

4.Add the protein powder to the cooked oats and stir vigorously until the powder is fully incorporated and the oatmeal is smooth and creamy. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash more water or milk until the desired texture is reached.

5.Transfer the protein oatmeal to a serving bowl.

6.Top the oatmeal evenly with the 20g of peanut butter, allowing it to slightly melt into the warm oats.

7.Arrange the 50g of mixed berries artfully over the top.

8.If desired, sprinkle with chia seeds and drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving immediately.
